Destiny Waits Alike For The Free Man

God Is Not Averse To Deceit In A Holy Cause.

Call No Man Happy Till He Is Dead.

Of All The Gods, Death Only Craves Not Gifts: Nor Sacrifice, Nor Yet Drink-offering Poured Avails; No Altars Hath He, Nor Is Soothed By Hymns Of Praise. From Him Alone Of All The Powers Of Heaven Persuasion Holds Aloof.

No Bribes. Nothing That Passes Under The Roof Of A Temple Or Under The Roof Of The Mouth, Can Appease Heaven's Anger Or Deflect Its Aim.

Few Men Have The Natural Strength To Honor A Friend's Success Without Envy.
